Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i'm a newbye on this forum .. and on linux too , i just instaled fedora ... and i need to know how to mount my other partitions ... i need the commands .... coze it only see the ext2 partition ( where linux is instaled) !

first run fdisk and check what it print's out and it will give your hard disks and there mount point eg.
/devhda1 / - which mean thats the root partition, once youve found what you NTFS partition is do this

Create a directory eg /ntfs mkdir /ntfs
then run this command
mount /dev/hdax /ntfs - x being the number of your NTFS partition

fedora does not come with the ntfs driver, you need to download it. its pretty simple though, just go here. you can download an rpm for your distribution, i think its important to get the same version number so use the command:

uname -r

to tell you what your kernel release number is. then download the right rpm. i will warn you that there is no write support yet, so you can only read from the drive.

how are you trying to install it? on the left hand side of the rpm link i gave, there is a list of all the fedora releases. you can click on you release and download the rpm that matches your kernel. after you get it downloaded you just type

# rpm -i kernel-module-ntfs-*.rpm

as root. if you have problems there are pages on the sight to help you
